Qi Yuan looked at the pendant, a hint of joy in his eyes.
Lin Wanyue glanced at him and felt that his gaze was even brighter than Lin Diaodiao's, like stars.
"You must wear this close to your body," she couldn't help but remind her. "Even when you take a shower, you can't take it off, so that the ghost will lose its way."
“Okay, this is the first gift you’ve given me. I definitely won’t lose it, and I will never take it off.” Qi Yuan nodded in response.
Qi Sichen: "..."
My nephew, whom I've raised for so many years, is a bit slow-witted. What should I do?
"I wonder if we can hide it inside gold? After all, it's just a piece of paper. If it gets wet and dissolves, I'm afraid we won't be able to carry it with us all the time," Qi Sichen asked with some concern.
Lin Wanyue replied, "That's certainly possible."
Qi Sichen then stuffed the purse of silver he had just prepared to use to bribe Lin Weiming into Lin Wanyue's hand and said to Qi Yuan, "I bought it."
Things bought cannot be considered gifts.
However, Qi Yuan didn't care about this at all. He still happily treated the talisman like a treasure, wearing it around his neck and hiding it inside his clothes.
It really was a big, heavy bag of silver!
Lin Wanyue held so much silver in her arms, her face beaming with an unstoppable smile, though she felt a little guilty.
She couldn't even bring herself to take out a decent magical artifact, so she just used a talisman to get rid of Qi Yuan, and yet she still managed to get so much silver back.
Especially seeing how happy the other person was, Lin Wanyue felt like she had fooled a little fool.
"Do you like candy?" Lin Wanyue pulled out a handful of candy from her sleeve, which she had originally intended to give as a reward to Laifu.
He reacted quickly yesterday and didn't abandon Hu Jiuyuan, which prevented the talisman from harming innocent people.
Now is the perfect time to take it out and give it to Qi Yuan to eat.
Actually, Qi Yuan doesn't really like sweets.
Because he had taken a lot of medicine since he was a child, and the medicine was so bitter, he often swallowed it with candied fruit or sweets.
He doesn't like taking medicine, so naturally he doesn't like eating sweets.
"Hmm..." But it was Lin Wanyue who asked him this, and even though he didn't really like the food, he still nodded reluctantly: "Then I'll buy you some?"
He didn't know what he could do for Lin Wanyue, but when he was near her, he felt much more comfortable.
"Here." Lin Wanyue handed all the colorful candies to Qi Yuan, opened a candy, and said, "Try it and see if you like it. I have many other flavors here."
Qi Yuan took a bite. This candy had a flavor he had never tasted before. It was crunchy, with a hint of almond, a touch of caramel, and many other flavors he couldn't quite describe, but it was delicious.
"This candy is so delicious! I've eaten a lot of candy before, but none of them have ever tasted this good," Qi Yuan said excitedly after trying one.
"If you like it, you can have it."
Lin Wanyue glanced at the top of his head and saw that the female ghosts who had been clinging to his head had been repelled by the talisman.
However, they still seemed unwilling to give up. They lay under the roof beam not far from here, staring at this side with cold eyes, as if waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Qi Sichen raised his eyebrows slightly. He had practically raised this child himself, and had never skimped on food for him.
I can't believe I've started to enjoy eating a piece of candy?
Qi Sichen reached out and picked up a rather ordinary-looking white round candy, then popped it into his mouth.
But in just a moment, Qi Sichen's expression was truly indescribable.
Damn it!
It's unbelievable that someone would use star anise to make candy!
The fennel smell was so strong it went straight to his head; he didn't know how to describe the taste and just wanted to spit it out.
Yue!
However, after so many years of court education, he still managed to hold back from spitting out the candy in the street.
It was when he saw Qi Yuan's delighted expression that Qi Sichen began to have some self-doubt.
"This is fennel candy, which most people might not like. Why don't you try this milk candy instead?" Lin Wanyue saw his uncomfortable look and, considering that he was her sugar daddy, kindly reminded him.
She picked out a milky-white candy from the pile, but to Qi Sichen, it looked no different from the one she had just taken.
"..." Qi Sichen had no desire to taste that strong anise flavor again.
And to make matters worse...
"Uncle, this is my candy," Qi Yuan's voice came.
My nephew, whom I've raised for so many years, is like water spilled from a cup; he's eager to run outside.
He still had that childish face, staring intently at him with a powerful aura that shouldn't be there for someone his age.
"..." Qi Sichen's Adam's apple bobbed, and just as he was about to speak, the candy rolled down.
Qi Sichen had no choice but to struggle to survive, forcing himself to swallow the candy.
"Uncle, then you can go and rest over there. You don't need to stay with me all the time," Qi Yuan said.
Qi Sichen: "..."
A married nephew is like water spilled from a bowl!
My nephew, who's still unmarried, was the first to throw the water!
"Yes." With an extremely heavy heart, Qi Sichen walked step by step to the pharmacy across the street under Lin Weiming's increasingly heavy death stare.
The pharmacy owner, Li Dechang, immediately came forward: "What would you like to buy, sir?"
"Let's have some peace and quiet." Qi Sichen tossed out a silver note and casually took over Li Dechang's chair, his face nonchalant as he propped his chin up and stared intently at the two children opposite him.
Qi Yuan happily sidled up to Lin Wanyue, finally getting rid of the adults surrounding them, so he could stay peacefully by Wanyue's side.
He couldn't explain why either.
However, as long as he stays by Wanwan's side, it seems that the pressure that has been on his shoulders since birth, as well as the endless cold darkness, will automatically recede.
Even though he knew that his uncle Qi Sichen was always there to protect him, many times he still had to stumble and fall alone on that thorny and dark road.
But things are different now!
With his sister Wanwan by his side, he felt warm all over and could temporarily forget his pain.
Li Dechang held the silver note, then looked at the handsome man who was already comfortably lying in his chair, and his little mind started working.
He decisively put away the silver notes and ran to Lin's Restaurant across the street.
Seeing the two children who looked remarkably well-matched together, Li Dechang asked for a family photo. Pointing to the unfamiliar boy, he asked, "Boss, who is this child? He looks like the young master of a wealthy family."
"I don't recognize it!" Lin Weiming chopped the braised meat in his hand with a loud cracking sound, gritting his teeth.
This little rascal is quite something! He even made his own daughter laugh!
